Congratulations on your fix.

Many years ago I learned a secret from a very wise gunsmith. Ninety-nine percent of the failure to feed issues in any regular production automatic pistol can be cured with a ramp and throat polish. Since that time new or used there are two steps I follow religiously. The first is to disassemble, completely clean and re-lube a pistol before use. The second, while disassembled is to polish the feed ramp, throat and any sharp edges or burrs inside the barrel and battery. To this day I have never experience a failure to feed in any pistol I own and shoot.

For the record, in my opinion there isn't a mass produced pistol that comes off an assembly line that I consider truly finished. Low production bench made pistols should already have this work done and tested to proven results for the price they ask for and people pay.

Good shooting.
